CONDUCTOR S04 FIRST. Image 1 is the character reference: keep this same man, same face, wavy ginger hair and beard, long-legged proportions, smooth mustard-yellow oversized coat, olive turtleneck, dark brown cropped trousers, chunky tan boots, paper coffee cup and slim tightly furled navy-blue umbrella with a wooden crook handle. Images 2 and 3 are style references only: copy their painting manner, simple flat gouache shapes, clean graphic silhouettes, very little detail, big calm areas of pale colour, soft washed background fading into mist. Do not copy any person, place or object from images 2 and 3. Image 4 is the cast sheet: use these exact supporting character designs whenever they appear. Scene: Deep wide shot down a sloped street with a stone archway on the left in the middle distance. The stout worker in orange overalls from the cast sheet clings to a tall wooden A-frame ladder on wheels that rolls down the slope toward camera, holding a giant red plush heart overhead. In the foreground our hero walks toward camera sipping coffee, half-closed eyes, jamming his umbrella tip into the ground in the ladder's path. Generic city, no landmarks, no crowd, dry matte pavement without reflections. No text, no logos, no watermark.
